Esplanade 2020

Master Planning | Boston, Massachusetts

As a part of a grassroots effort to provide master planning for the Charles River Esplanade, Halvorson Design participated in the Esplanade 2020 Vision with The Esplanade Association, DCR and other prominent design professionals.

Following a series of public meetings, Halvorson Design developed plans and diagrams tovisually illustrate the community’s observations and clearly present guiding principles andobjectives for the park’s next 100 years. By representing site-specific recommendationsand key ideas graphically, the team developed a holistic framework for evaluating theEsplanade’s needs over time.

Ultimately, the visioning exercise has resulted in the completion of built projects withtangible results. Halvorson Design has assisted DCR and The Esplanade Association withdesign work at Esplanade Playspace, the Charles Eliot Memorial and with the Restorationof the Hatch Shell Lawn.
